public final class CoverageForPrivateConstructor
extends Object

Code coverage often report missing line coverage if your utility classes contain private constructors. Still, it is good practice to assure that utility classes cannot be constructed. This utility class will execute a private default constructor in a class and therefore remove this noise from your code coverage reports.
